BUSINESSES 4 LIFE

Inspired by sustainable education models, we’ve created businesses that are both community-focused and practical, providing students with real-world experience in leadership, management, customer service, and finance. Many of our graduates go on to start their own businesses, supported by our microfinance scheme that turns their entrepreneurial dreams into reality.

Zanzibar Bicycles 4 Life

Our bicycle business repairs and rents bikes to students, volunteers, and the public. Students involved in the business are trained to lead cycling tours for tourists, gaining valuable customer service skills. They also teach children how to ride safely. We "recycle" bicycles donated from Canada and the UK, giving them a new life with customers in Zanzibar—thank you to our generous sponsors for making this possible.

HEROES COMMUNITY ACADEMY (HCA)

Heroes Community Academy employs a dedicated team of 8 staff members, including teachers, cleaners, gardeners, and a secretary. As the school grows, we plan to expand our team further. Our school operates sustainably—offering scholarships to some students, while low-income families can contribute to school fees at an affordable rate, ensuring that every child receives a high-quality education comparable to the best on the island. Our office facilities also generate income through a photocopying service, offered to the local community at competitive rates.
